Marion Oaks in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 28% of the median income in 2030, up from 27% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases. On projected 2030 affordability, Marion Oaks does better than 29% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 96%.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$1,658/mo (2024)	$2,190/mo	$1,800 to $2,670/mo	+4.7%
Median household income	$72,392 (2024)	$92,500	$78,000 to $109,000	+4.1%
Median home value	$257,700 (2024)	$392,000	$285,000 to $541,000	+7.3%

The median home would be worth 4.3 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.6 now.
